Estudio de la UE: Brechas en la alfabetización digital de los adolescentes

16 de dic. de 2024

Un estudio de la Comisión Europea revela que el 43% de los estudiantes de 14 años de toda la UE carecen de competencias digitales básicas. Los estudiantes de niveles socioeconómicos más altos superan sistemáticamente a sus compañeros, lo que pone de relieve la influencia de los niveles educativos de los padres y de los recursos del hogar. Cabe destacar que las chicas superan a los chicos en un 7,9% de media, pero las mujeres constituyen solo el 20% de los especialistas en TIC en la UE.
